Double MO has been removed. You need to know nearly nothing. Runewords just work in grey items - you can make white items grey by cubing them with the jewels (1 Jewel = 1 socket), you can't give a socketed item more sockets! You can reroll a white/grey item with oil of renewal. Oil of luck for even more bonuses.

So reroll until desired stats, then luck for more bonus, if failed more reroll. If succeed get max sockets. Add Mystic Orbs*don't go above the level requirement of the MOs + the highest level of either rune, jewel, base item). Add Jewels and as last the rune. Done.

For armor items - check the base stats you want a good roll on defense don't even look at % enhanced defense. Since you roll both, the base and % enhanced Def. For example an ancient armor with +30% ED could have 4628 def or 3737. For the final RW that can make more than 2k difference!

Also, when crafting unique jewelry, can you only craft jewelry listed in the TU section or can you also craft jewelry in the SU section?

What do you mean by crafting jewelry? Runecrafted Jewels?

I heard you can upgrade amulets and rings like any other tiered item. (making TUs)

Greetings,

Based on the ... information available... it seems we're to be killing death projector in swampy pit, not tal rasha any more.

Be great if the guides were ... updated.

Or old, inaccurate information removed.

Death projector keeps resetting. Best I can do is 40%. Funny, however, I dropped it this morning with no gear, just standing back and summoning a horde of minions.

I've watched the health reset after 5 seconds, I've watched the health reset after several minutes. I've fought the damn thing for ten minutes straight before the 4 o'clock position start no longer applied, and lightning killed me on the opposite side of the DP.

Apparently that tip is... less than accurate as well.

The double lightning is a real treat, as well. Why is this consistently labelled "easy"?

I didn't have half this much trouble with the previous challenges, which were supposedly harder.

... was that a short question? "Why does the health reset on the DP? How do I reasonably prevent this highly irritating bug?"

It heals on kill, so get good killspeed or skip minions.

It is not a bug, when one of his mechanics kills something (near him?) he will heal.

That's interesting, doesn't answer how a naked summoner killed him earlier, and then can't repeat the trick with gear on.

Any suggestions on how a summoner is supposed to "easily" handle this?

The guides make no mention of this whatsoever. Of course, one still has you going to Tal Rasha.

@drakkos,

First, I'd suggest checking the Patch Notes to keep up-to-date on what's new in M2017.

Second, some of the guides are being updated, but with all that's changed, it's not always as simple as "Uber x in now in location y. Everything else is the same. gl hf."

Third, guides are merely supplemental resources provided by members of the community. Updating guides is a pita with this many changes, and not everyone has the time or desire to do it. You don't like that some aren't being updated? Fine, write your own. But until then, at least be grateful enough to the community for providing those resources to you in the first place.

Can a mod confirm whether ttad adds dooms damage again with only initial melee hit, or does it apply to ranged weapon projectile/processes too? Too many conflicting answers from here back to old forums. Thanks in advance.

So, no then?

"Be grateful for inaccurate, dated info" is hardly helpful.

Thanks for the snark, been there, read that, didn't help.

A pure summoner can't do it. If you play necro: Respec and max frostclaw Totem. You can see where to teleport in the uber section of my summoner guide.
